Quick year-end thread. I wrote 13 pieces in 2019. Most were about things I liked, which I’m glad about (so much negativity already). Most were for @NBCNewsTHINK - a great, diverse site I was proud to be a small part of. Special thanks to @MBennettSmith, a fantastic editor…
@NBCNewsTHINK @MBennettSmith 1. @AOC is a millennial role model when she’s away from the keyboard - in a culture where status is increasingly defined by likes and followers, she proves doing the work is real power. Now, if she just focuses on walking the walk > tweeting the talk... nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
@NBCNewsTHINK @MBennettSmith @AOC 2. @BernieSanders breaking with the other Democratic candidates and agreeing to a Fox News town hall was a win-win, and proved out the value of intellectual discomfort. I’d argue his out of the box media choices is keeping him in this race: nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
Chapelle has also:
1) morphed into the obnoxious comedian, Reggie Warrington, from The Nutty Professor.
2) made leaving his show, for fear that racists & bigots were laughing at him, a moot point. #DaveChappelle #SticksandStones (s/o @VerySmartBros)

There's nothing funny about being an asshole, just for the sake of being an asshole. He's a brilliant comedian. We've seen him be way better than this, which makes it frustrating & confusing. #DaveChapelle #SticksAndStones
If your comedy routine is comprised of degrading & offensive jokes, that's lazy just writing. Chapelle wasn't always like this. "Killing Them Softly" & "For What It's Worth" are fantastic & definitely in my top 10. #SticksAndStones #DaveChapelle
